what about the romney campaign? >> governor romney's focuses on the economy and the big issues in this campaign. and that's what he's been talking about across illinois. he gave a big speech yesterday contrasting his vision for the future versus president obama. he wants to see an america where our i cans and grandkids can grow up in the same america that he knows. he doesn't want to pass on debt to the next generation. he thinks that's immoral to do so. these are the steps to get americans back to work. he spent 25 years as a businessman and entrepreneur in the private sector so he understands how these things work and that's why he's running. and i think as we've seen throughout all of these states and all of the contests that americans are responding to him. he's won 1.2 million more votes than senator santorum, his next competitor and he's getting great support in all sectors of the country. and in all demographics as well. >> andrea, thanks so much. up next here, the police cobriefing, breaking down the ryan bu

mitt romney said no, i haven't. has he endorsed you yet? >> it's a striking thing. >> that was striking. >> it's a striking thing as i said in the last ten days. the two members of the bush family have endorsed mitt romney, jeb bush, the former governor and a former president but not the last former president named bush. i bet you could count on one hand the number of times mitt romney has put his name and george w. bush's name in the same sentence in the last six months. even among republicans, george w. bush's name is still not sort of recouped imagewise in a way that jeb bush's name has kind of sterling in the party. george h.w. bush though he lost to bill clinton is seen as a grand statesman. it's a remarkable testament, george w. bush is nowhere in this campaign. >> chris, thank you very much for setting us up today. mayhem in the skies. and the threat of cyberattacks. on that front, proposed legislation would require owners and operators of critical facilities to notify homeland security at the first sign of hacking. senator john mcca
